Suresh's dog is the one that was hurt in the stampede.

There should be word like showed or revealed or betrayed.

With negative adverbs like 'neither' and 'nor' at the beginning of a clause, subject-auxiliary inversion is required. When both structures appear in one sentence with 'not only...but also' logic, 'nor were they' is the correct inverted form to complete 'neither...nor' construction.

The sentence contrasts scientists and engineers, so 'Unlike' is the correct choice. 'Like' would show similarity, which contradicts the context. 'Most unlike' and 'Most like' are unnecessarily wordy, and 'As' doesn't establish the contrast needed.

The sentence describes Esperanto's design in the past (when it was created). 'Was designed' is the simple past passive form. 'Designed' lacks the necessary auxiliary verb, 'will be designed' is future, 'had been designed' is past perfect (not needed here), and 'is being designed' is present progressive.

The sentence is in present tense ('are'), so the relative clause should also use present tense 'are concerned'. 'Concerned' would be a past participle needing an auxiliary, 'were concerned' is past tense, and 'had to be concerned' introduces unnecessary modal and perfect aspect.

When comparing two nouns with different verbs, the auxiliary 'do' is needed to avoid repetition. 'Light waves travel faster than sound waves do' is correct because 'do' substitutes for 'travel'. Other options either use incorrect forms ('are', 'have') or add unnecessary words.

In 'neither...nor' constructions with inverted auxiliary verbs, the second part must repeat the auxiliary and main verb. 'Nor do the elders understand' provides the complete verb structure needed after 'nor'. Other options either omit the verb or place it incorrectly.

This is a 'the more...the more' comparative structure showing correlation. Both parts must use 'the' + comparative adjective. 'The harder...the more marks' is the correct pattern. Options without 'the' or with incorrect word order break this grammatical structure.

The statement describes a general truth about the current state of the universe. 'There are' is the correct present tense form because countless stars and planets exist in the cosmic dark right now, not just in the past or future. 'Have been' and 'had been' refer to past time, while 'were' is also past tense. 'Will be' refers only to the future, but the stars exist now.

This sentence describes a completed action in the past, so the simple past tense 'set foot' is correct. Option A uses a relative clause 'who set foot' which would need a different sentence structure. Option B uses the past continuous 'was setting foot' which suggests an ongoing action, not a completed event. Option D 'had to set foot' adds unnecessary obligation. Option E 'was set foot' is grammatically incorrect. Option C correctly uses the simple past to state the completed action.

The sentence uses 'not only...but also' construction correctly. When 'not only' comes before 'are,' the parallel structure requires 'also for pulling sleighs' to complete the thought. This maintains proper parallelism with the earlier items (hides and milk) and follows the grammatical requirements of this construction.

'In spite of' correctly introduces the contrast between hibernation's near-sleep state and the brain remaining alert. While 'instead of' and 'rather than' suggest substitution, and 'irrespective of' shows disregard, only 'in spite of' properly captures the contradiction of appearing vulnerable while actually maintaining alertness.

  Haemoglobin facilitates metabolism among living organisms as it helps the constituent body cells to absorb more of oxygen.

'During' is the only correct preposition to indicate something happening throughout the time period of tobacco curing. 'Amidst' suggests being surrounded by, 'among' requires multiple nouns, 'in' is too vague, and 'between' requires two distinct points. 'During' correctly shows the chemical changes occurring across the entire curing process.
